A Relic of the Past.

"You would think that in this age of
the world there was no man such fogy
as not to be up with the ordinary rules
and customs of hotel life'' ] had been
talking with the night clerk of the Ire
mont. He continued: IAN old man came
in tonight carrying his valise, to which
he chung as though it held all he had in
the world. The bell boy over there offered
to take it, but the Old man ordered him to
stand back. Then he approached me and
said he wanted to go to bed l saw that
he was well meaning old gentleman and
unused to city customs. | asked him if
he wanted room pretty high. He looked
at me and said he didn't want to go where
he couldn't get out if anything happened.
And I don't want to be put in a bed with
anybody else, nutherr he exclaimed.
Want a BATH asked. At this he grew
furious, and said he had q good wash just
before he left home, and he didn't think
he was filthy yet, but he would probably
need bath, he said, by the time he got
ready to leave this tavern. thought that
was one on me.
II persuaded him to register, and then
cilled the bell boy to show him up. The
old fellow objected. He said he didn't
with him. To please him l went with him,
and we got into the elevator. It is fact
that the old fellow then grew speeches.,
and when we reached the landing on the
fourth floor he asked me if there was no
other way Of getting to the room. I'D
rather climb UP ladder from the out
side, he said, than to git into the box
agin. Sposin' that rope was to break?'
Having reached his room he took me by
the hand and said, 'Gooby,' in warm
hearted way, and then asked: I reckon

The Sons of Their Fathers.

A gentleman VINO has long been resi-
dent Of Maine and New Hampshire was
speaking the other day about the degen-
eracy Of the young men in those states.
He went back over the whole history Of
that section and spoke about the sturdy
life of the pioneers and their independence
of everybody and everything. 1t was
amid such surroundings that Nathaniel
Hawthorne grew up in Maine and Daniel
Webster in New Hampshire. Hawthorne
was from Bowdoin college and Webster
was from Dartmouth college. Each Of
these institutions has made the exploits of
its notable son part of its stock in trade.
But my friend declares that in the case of
both Webster and Hawthorne it was not
the institution Of learning but the early
surroundings that made each man what
he was. The third generation, the sons
Of these two and other distinguished men,

be extended to other parts CT the country.
For instance, Joshua N. Gidding3 and
Benjamin T. Wade were sons Of pioneers
in Ohio, but no one ever hears of their
sons in these days.-Ncw York Graphic.

A sANGUINARY CURRENT.

Those who are anxious to see tie crimson
food spoken Of in story hooks should go to
the SHAMELESS at any time during the day be-
tween the hours of a. m. and p m. Each
animal bleeds from one half to two gallons,
aud this sanguinary current flows steadily all
day and pours through an iron shoot in tie
asphalt flooring into en- iron cradle on wheels,
placed there to receive it. The contents of
these cradles is poured into an iron vat, where
it is boiled to a thick. dough like consistency.
From the vat it is placed in bags and pressed
in 4 huge machine:from which it issues in the
shape of big cakes two inches thick These
cakes are then thrown into machine, which
dries and grinds them SO that substance as
fine as coffee is thrown out of the machine
1t is then put in bags and sold for fertihzing
purposes.
Bloou prepared in this manner is Of great
value IS manure and brings from $40 to $50
a ton. After the bullock is dead he is hoisted
Up clear OF the floor and his jacket is taken
off His heart and liver are removed, and
be is cut into two pieces down the back. The
loose flesh around the neck is carefully skew
cred up and he is ready for the market. In
the meantime the other portions of his body
which are not marketable as food, with tic
exception of his hoofs, are tried out and the
fat separated. The residuum is dried and
ground A fertilizer is made from this re-
mainder which brings $50 ton.
The horns are sold and made into knife
handles and buttons, and the hoofs are sent
to the late Peter Coopers glue factory. The
skulls, after every particle of meat has been
removed, are ground into bone dust. The
hides are sailed down for week or ten days
and then disposed of to leather manufacturers.
Every night at o'clock the place is treated
to a bath, and when the workmen are through
squirting a portion of the North river around
the floor the establishment is clean and sweet
as a kitchen floor in a well regulated house.

Few of the thousands of men in this big
town who are strengthened every day by
juicy beefsteak ever think how far that steak
has been brought, or through what various
processes it has been put before being placed
smoking on the plate, savory and tempting.
A reporter who was ignorant about the evo-
luton OF the beefsteak started out for infor-
nation on the subject, and he incidentally
learned something about mutton and veal
TWAS learned at the stock yards ct the foot
of Sixtieth street, close to the Hudson river,
that New York state does not furnish cattle
enough in one year to supply the market Of
this city for one day The stock yards have
accommodations for I, 900 calves, 10, 900 sheep,
and 1000 cattle, but they are called upon
very seldom to take care Of such large num-
Der; besides, the arrivals are only temporary
boarders, consigned to large meat dealers in

bricl; and covers ar least two acres of grounr.
If there is any virtue in being killed neatly
and quickly, the cattle brought to this
slaughter house have reason to be congratu-
lated. No tough sinewed Texan cattle are
brought here ~ have their hides taken off,

with iron bars, are ranged along one side of
the upper floor, and into these the cattle are
driven early in the morning. Two men are
required to kill a steer a stout rope is
fastened around the animals hind legs, and
